h not our business to qtestion the eonduct of the Church in excommunicating " Players" from the rites of burial, but we cannot help remarking upon the ab surdity of a Catholic Government tolerating a pro fession which the Church excommunicates from its bosom. The French Government not only tolerates Players, but allows them to perform on Sunday I—and yet the Church denounces an order of men enjoying Ouch especial favour. This clearly proves that the Church and State do not row in the same boat, and the people are left to reconcile the absurdity in the best way they can. But the Church may be jealous that the theatre divides its votaries, and so puts its ban upon the professors or the stage, as being instrumental agents in partially seducing the people fromthe bosom of Mother Church. We think that the dominion of the Church is predominant enough without seeking exclusive jurisdiction over nien's minds. But the late be haviour of the Archbishop of Paris in the case of 'IALM A proves the unsparing--the deep-rooted hostility ofthe Ca tholic Church to a class from which the public derive ouch unmingled pleasure and. mental gratification : we only wish that the exhibition of such a relentless spirit ►ere more frequent, that the people might more clearly See the wolf in sheep's ,clothing, end be. edified by the discovery, for nothing opens men's eyes so much as the characteristic villainy of pretended innocence in the garb of virtuous meekness. If the stage be so immoral and licentious, as the Priests affect to believe, why do they not, in their chatter of guardians .of public morals, - petition or advise the Government to abolish the well, and thus quash, at once an irreligious craft, to them the source of so much virtuous annoyance, "d of contamination to their flocks ? But their IhirM is as pretended as their purpose is insidious and jesuitical. They are like the jealous Turk, and will Act. brook a rival to share their dominion over the pub lic mind. Their motto should be despotic exclusion. With respect to TALmA's obsequies,.we think that there has been too much acting displayed —pompous :ci,rations might tickle the ear, but unaffected sensibi litY Would much more affect the heart. However, we Ain not quarrel with the admirers of departed genius for a pardonable excess in paying the last tribute of 4 frerfion to his .shade. But the Etoile of Tuesday has a long laboured article - upon the . immorality and Pet*cicus tendency of the stage— , -quite in the spirit 'of that exclusive dogmatis►n which we reprobated above. That the stage, like all other institutions, has its faults we will not deny, but is it worse ,than utatiy ,other spectacles which the priests not only sanction but linommencl ? Cannot these worthies confine their Pious care :to religious duties, without infringing the strict morality of their order ? " Why not let well ugh alone,'.' that the poor may enjoy a little harm - lets recreation, without having the eternal ban present- Cd to their view at every turn ? But these things work their own cure, and the mock alarinists feel it ; but lik e Macbeth, they have proceeded too far to be . able, a nd know not how to make a graceful retreat. It '$ idl e for them, however, to hope that their disin terested Persuasion can prevail against the evidences of people's own senses, in denouncing the stage. They 141 1 proscribe the' poor players, but will not add to their flock or convince the public of the worth of their la nrc Men will be bad, in spite of the example and Precept of Priests, and the stage may reclaim, but does not add t o t h e num b er more th an o th e r pr o f ess i ons . too stage is always present to public view, and thus it tiers are more narrowlywatched, and their merits I ' 4 Q —often with no charitable mind ; but players gialo enough to answer for, without having to endure 'th* intolerance of the Church in this world, and its ven gekice in the next. If every class minded its own business, People would be much happier, and the world no worse. 'Bey wbo pry too much into other people's affairs, Tmcsally neglect their own.

A most extraordinary conspiracy has lately become the subject of conversation in the legal circles. Two Irish noblemen have, it is understood, in conjunction with two Irish gentlemen, conducted themselves to wards a youth, just of age, in a way that we thought had been confined to the class of the Thuilells and the Proberts. The intended dupe—for, as it fortunately turned out, the whole extent of the projected mischief' was not effected—had lately succeeded to a large for-, tune, the news of which e,teited the cupidity of the noble and gentlemanly party in question. An ac quaintansce ensued, and, after a convivial dinner, the youth found himself ipdebted to the party in a sum con siderably greater than the value of their friendship. There were in the case circumstances of intoxication and total ignorance of play, which led to a compromise of the debt, for little more than a third of its pretended amount. As this compromise was a virtual acknowlegement of the nature of the transaction, the young man 's solicitor thought he might as well reclaim the portion paid*: and has actually filed bills of indictment for that pur pose. A story like this needs no comment : from the connexion of the parties every effort will doubtless be made to stifle investigation : we shall, however, keep a watchful eye on the proceedings,—the' rather, because we have not now to learn, that this transaction is not the first adventure of the kind, as more than one person has painfully experienced. We feel the less reluctance too, because it is known that the conduct of one of the parties, publicly in Ireland, and privately in England, has attracted indignant notice on more than one occasion : but we shall not, at present, detail the illegal proceedings at certain elections, nor the in decent behaviour at certain opera dinners.— Times.

STEAM ENGINES.—The following curious facts were stated by Mr. Webster in a lecture on steam en gines, delivered on Tuesday night at the Crown and Anchor :—lt has been ascertained with some degree of certainty, that there are now in this country not less than 15,000 steam engines at work, some of almost incredible power ; in Cornwall there is one of 600 horse 'r a ki n g it for granted, that on an average t per. h o e w seengines are each of 25 horse power, this would be equal to 375,000 horses. According to Mr. Watt's calculation, 5f men are equal to the power of a horse ; we have thus, therefore, a power, through the medium of steam engines, equal to near two millions of men. Each horse for his keep per year, requires the produce of two acres of land, and thus 750,000 acres are at the disposal of Great Britain, more than if the same work, which is now done by steam, had to be per gulped by horses.

By referring to the foregoing statement it will be seen, that during the short interval since the preceding Sessions, t7B prisoners are Cdriimitied fdt trial lit those which coM mence this day; yet, at the same time, it is pleasing to remark, that the present calendar is not stained by any charge of murder or fo rgery . There is, however, a more peculiar feature, and perhaps unprecedented, that although this calendar contains 48 London prisoners, not me of them is committed fer an of fence which demands the forfeiture df litOi These Sessions commenced this morning at nine o'clock, before the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Sergeant ARARIN, and a Bench of Aldermen.—The Judges in attendance are Mr. Justice PAR and Bawl Oinnowi, BURGLARY. James S/zay stood indicted for burgiariously entering the house of James Thruston, and stealing a quantity of har ness. It appeared that two other persons had been tried on a former occasion for the same offence, and convicted of stealing tb the value df 405,, in a dwelling-house, which Was capital as well as burglary, but the evidence against the prisoner was entirely circumstantial, and notsufficiently conclusive of his connection with the burglary, to warrant a conviction.—Verdict—Not HORSE STEALING. if Maltby stood indicted for stealing two geldings, value 200 guineas, the property of John McCurdy. John McCurdy, examined by the COURT-1 live in Cecil-street, in the Strand; I am a private gentleman; I had two geldings in September, 1825, which I had pur chased from the prisoner in une of the same year, for 1.501.; they remained in my possession, and were made use of in my' service for several months, in consequence of my having commenced an action against the prisoner, on a breach of warranty, the horses having proved unsound ; he came to me, and took them to his own stables, where he was to keep them for 51. a month, being half what I was paying; he was to keep them until they should be in order for sale; I authorised him to look out for a pur chaser, but not to sell them, without my permission; I went to him two days after, and found that the horses were gone ; the prisoner told me that he had sold one of them for 12/. or IS/.; he never consulted me about the sale. Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—I brought a civil ac tion against him about six months after, to recover the money which I paid for the horses, as they did not turn out adequate to the warranty. By the COURT—That action is atilt pending; I did not keep the horses, if I got back the money. Cross-examination resumed—There was an agreement between the prisoner and myself, that if he should pay me 1121. I would stop the action, and let him have the horses. I went before Sir Richard Birnie, who told me that the charge did MIS amount to felony-, 'but that kin volved a fraud, and be recommended me to go before a grand jury : this was in January, and I did not go before a grand jury until the September following, because I did not know when the grand j ury sat. I procured a war rant . to 'apprehend the prisoner in January ; I saw the prisoner at Bow-street in shoots fortnight after; another warrant was granted at the office after the grand jury had found a true bill. I offered the Norses to him for 1001. but he was to have no property in them until he paid me ; I calcula ted on paying for the feeding of them. Mr. Baron GAAROW deemed it unnecessary to delay the Court, by examining any more witnesses. There was no foundation for the charge of felony in this case; the ques tion was, whether the prisoner had intended to steal these horses previously to his taking them to his stables; he was now on his trial for a capital offence,. and an action was pending for the amount of the horses, he supposed the pro secutor wished to pay him first, and then enter an action for the horses. Re-examination resumed—From the time that I deliver ed these horses, until this moment, no person applied to me for extension of time to the prisoner for the payment of these horses. If 100/. should be offered to me, after the prisoner had sold the horses, I would not take it, nor would it prevent me from proceeding with the indictment, I would not compound the charge. Leadbeater, a Bow -street officer, apprehended the pri soner, in consequence of a warrant from the Bow-street Magistrates; he took him into custody in about five weeks after the warrant had been granted, the prisoner was taken to Bow-street, and discharged after a true bill had been found against him by the Grand Jury ; witness got a cer tificate thereof, and apprehended the prisoner in a fortnight afterwards; the prisoner himself came to hiin when he sent him word that•he wanted him. John Rogers examined by the Court.-1 am a com mercial agent, an acquaintance of Mikjor M'Curdy's, and was present at an agreement entered into between the prisoner and the Major, which was that the prisoner should keep the horses for five shillings a week, until he could procure a purchaser; but that he was by no means to con sider them as his property, nor exercise any right over them. This was the cue for the prosecution. Charles Giblin examined by Mr. PLATT--1 have been in the service of the prisoner these two years; I remember having received the horses of Major *Curdy into care; the prisoner lived over the water, but had stables near Covent-garden, where he could be seen at any time. William Moreton, a livery-stable keeper, delivered the horses up to last witness in consequence of an order to that effect from the Major. Mr. Baron GA ROW in summing up the evidence, told the Jury that they should be cautious not to confound a subject for a civil actioh, with a charge that affects a man's lite. It had been decided in a variety of cases by all the Judges, that the mere delivery of h orses to anot h er, i n order to procure a purchaser, ;does not give him such a possession of them as authorises hint to part with them without the consent of the owner, nor does it exempt him from the charge of st ea li ng t h em ; b ut to constitute the capital offence, it i s necessary that the person to whom the horses are delivered s h ou ld ta k e t h em with an intention of converting th em to hi s own use, or of disposing of them contrary to the terms on which they had been given to him. His intention must be previously to his getting possession of them, for if he takes them with an intention of selling them, with out first communicating with the owner afterwards, or is induced, through a pressure of circumstances, to dispose of them for his own use, it is only a fraud, and does not amount to a felony. It was for the Jury to consider, under all the circumstances, whether the prisoner had taken these geldings with an intention of steeling them. Verdict —Not Guilty. John Jones stood indicted for returning from transpor tation before the expiration of his time. The certificate of his onviction at the 034 Bailq, And of his taving fleeti ienfeased to eleven years transpertat6 in January last; Atria put in and James Harris eiatifined by the Court:--:I ain a turnkey in Newgate ; I had the prisoner iti my enstedy on the in dictment on which the conviction now read ware founded; I delivered him up to the Leviathan hulk, on the 18th of Marsh last, in order .te.fm.coriveyed to Botany Bay. Wm. Golding, examined by the C013RT..--1 have known the prisoner since September last, he went by the name of William Ryan , lid came. to my master's shop to enquire if we had buckhorn books to sell; 1 am sure he is the man: This was the case for the prosectitinfl: The Plielftlei being called on for his defence, said tfin'f he had been sentenced tit transportation for stealing a few pounds of meat, which . was Vitale, hard, as he bad a wife and several children, and no provision for for them ; he had several offers mad* to him to escape slid try to provide for his wife and children in an honest matt , net; ite did so, but he has not been so fortunate as lie expected. Mr. Justice rAiik title* ainimed up, and the Jury re turned a verdict of Guifiy. nRREY SESSIONS.--(THIS Sarah Brunswick and 'lank , Lawrence were indicted for stealing a silver watch and metal key, value 305., the property of James Wilson. - The prosecutor stated, that on the night of the !bib lie was passing diioltet the Mint between twelve and one o'clock, and saw the prikiiter isarah Brunswick standing at her door; by her invitation he neenmpanied her to her bed-room. On entering he put his watch into his hat. There was no light in the room, and he heard her fumbling in his hat: He got up, and saw a man at the door. He miseed hif Witithi and began to call out. The man seized and threw him dnwti soetal times, He opened the win dow and cried out " murder t" lie was certain that it was the prisoner Lawrence, as he did 10/ leave the room till a light was brought. Witness continued calling till a watchman came. • Cross-eiatnilled by Mr. TiIF,sSIGEIL—Had drank a rit of porter or so; had ndt made it palatable with gin; did not like gin; was an advocate for genuine beer; meant by a pot or so, that it might hare been a little more; called out of the window a great number of curious things, and amongst the rest, that he bad been robbed of 18 swot reigns ; did not recollect having been ever possessed of no much in his whole life ; said so in order to procure help. William Jones, the watchman, stated that he was called by Wilson, whom he found standing at the street-door. The latter gave charge of the two pnsoners and three other girls ; he was quite drunk ; witness searched them, but did not find the watch. The night-constable swore that the prosecutor was beyond being sober-sensible, he was quite drunk. The CHAIRMAN in summing up remarked, that the pro secutor was beyond all doubt intoxicated, and as no watch had been found, it was very probable that it had never been lost. . The Jury, after some consideration, found both the prisoners—Not Guilty. John Hall, aged 17, Geo. Tani, 14, and James Hold brook, 14, were indicted for stealing on the 6th of Octo ber, six Instal watch keys, and others articles, value 3s. the property of Johannah Kevannaugh, at Bermondsey. The prosecutrix stated, that an officer came to her house and asked her if she had lost any thing. She then missed the above articles. Sarah Kevannaugh, the daughter of the last witness, stated, that on the above day the prisoner Hall came into • the shop, and asked for a half-pennyworth of Indian ink. She recollects seeing the other prisoners standing outside. Smith, the Officer, apprehended the prisoners together, at Rotherhithe, and found the stolen property upon them,' which they said Hall had found in a bag. The prisoners, who were very diminutive for their age, preserved the greatest indifference. They severally stated that Hall had found it, and divided the contents between the others. In this story they seemed to have been well trained, as they all repeated it without the.difference of a word. The Jury found them all Guilty, and the prosecutriz, who gleamed very reluctant to punish them, ctunestly re commended them to mercy on account of their extreme youth. The CHAIRMAN inquired' and found that they were well-known thieves, and had each been in 13rixton. He then told them, that if they had no natural protectors, it was high time to provide them with some. He sentenced Tent and Holdbrook to seven years' transportation, and Hall to six months' hard labour at Brixton, and to be once privately whipped. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH,GuIummALL—(Tnts DAT.) LIBEL. THZ XING V. CLARKE. Mr. Scatturer stated the case. The defendant was a person of the name of William Clarke, and the present indictment charged him with publishing a variety of libels against the prosecutor, Joseph Timpberon. The only doubt the Yearned Counsel would have, after he had stated the facto of the case, would be, whether the Jury would not think that the defendant was a man unfit to have the care and management of himself and his After a tedious and somewhat uninteresting statement of the case, by Mr. SCA RLZTT, the defendant was found guilty on part of the indictment ; and not guilty on the other counts. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE.—(THIs DAY.) James Wilson, a rough looking dirover, was placed at the bar, on a charge of assault.—lt appeared in evidence, that as the pri soner was going along Oxford-street, at eight o'clock last night, he met two young girls, one of whom, without saying a word, he seised hold of by the arm, and pushed aside, and, upon her remon strating with him, he struck her across the shoulders with a stick he bad in his hand, her companion then upbraided him for his unmanly conduct, but, instead of expressing sorrow, he kicked her and knocked her down, in consequence of which, one of her legs was considerably hurt.—Ordered to make reparation to the girls, or in default, to be committed. Two hawks of the common species having ventured near the tower of St. Andrew's Church, Plymouth, on Saturday week, they were surrounded by twelve , jack laws, who commenced a most determined attack on the intruders. They continued buffeting the hawks for nearly half an hour, confining their flight within a certain circle ; and though the unfortunate birds of prey tried every manoeuvre to escape, they were so roughly handled that the passengers Who witnessed the singular exhibition expected every moment to see them fall to the ground. After the jackdaws had somewhat grati fied their revenge, the hawks were suffered to wing their flight in a direct line, of which they gladly availed themselves, and retreated to their native wilderness, very exhausted condition. evidently in a an exciseman intercepted a hear se , on that it contained some smuggled goods.
